1 Introduction
Oracle Communications Networks Data Analytics Function (OCNWDAF) is a Network Function (NF) that assists in collecting and analyzing data in a 5G network.
The 5G technology requires prescriptive analytics to drive closed-loop automation and self-healing networks. In a 5G network, the consumers of data are 5G NFs, Application Functions (AFs), and Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) and the data producers are 5G NFs. An OCNWDAF consumer can avail analytics information for different analytic events. Alternatively, the consumers can subscribe or unsubscribe for specific analytics information as a one-time event or periodically get notified when a specifically defined event (for example, a threshold is breached) is detected.
1.1 Purpose and Scope
This document is designed to help operators measure the capacity and performance of OCNWDAF, OCNWDAF microservices, and deployment environment setup software such as Cloud Native Environment (CNE), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and cnDBTier.
This document provides OCNWDAF performance and capacity data.
It is recommended that OCNWDAF is run through a benchmark on the target cloud native infrastructure to determine the capacity and performance in the target infrastructure. This information can be used to adjust the initial deployment resources and to help predict resource requirements when OCNWDAF is scaled up.
